This lich needs more money
Chapter 406: Retreat in two directions
A great battle ended with no one injured.
Although it was a bit anticlimactic, Ryan sent out so many legends, and there was no obvious loss of combat power. Why did they retreat?
This is the view of outsiders. After all, Cyril Roland and his men did not lose a single hair. It was just that the summoned celestial warriors were destroyed, which consumed some strength at most.
There would definitely be no problem in continuing the battle, but they chose to retreat.
This is contrary to the tradition of the Ryan people to fight to the death. The reputation of this Huiyao general is ruined, and it is estimated that his end will be very miserable after returning home.
But Cyril Roland is not thinking about this problem now. He led the troops to retreat, but he did not retreat completely. He just left the gold coin island of Amberxiu for more than 100 kilometers and then dropped anchor.
Neither returning nor moving forward, it is like Cyril Roland's current thoughts are blocked here.
Cyril Roland could see Elizabeth's dilemma, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm the same as you, we are all confused. But since the Lord of Dawn still gave us the oracle, it means he hasn't given up on us. Elizabeth, no matter whether what we did before was right or wrong, this is also the opportunity given by the gods to correct us."
Cyril Roland sighed heavily, as if he had made up his mind. He stood up and said to everyone, "If what the lich said is the truth, then there is something wrong with the empire, and it is a very serious problem."
The Lord of Dawn did not tell them the answers to all their doubts, but only gave them a direction: "If you want to find the truth, go to the other side of the Ryan Empire."
If we calculate it further, are the desert dwarves really so evil that they need to occupy half of their territory?
The gods they worshipped devoutly actually sent their messengers to help an undead. Wouldn't everything the Ryan Empire has done over the years become a joke?
Cyril Roland also felt very strange about this matter. Alan Watson's father was the Supreme Judge, and he himself had made many achievements on the battlefield. Why did he betray his country?
Elizabeth's beautiful facial features squeezed together, revealing an embarrassment.
The thoughts of thousands of people gathered into a river, breaking through the barrier between the mortal world and the kingdom of God, and communicating with the kingdom of the Lord of the Dawn.
After experiencing that incredible battle, all Ryan people need to ask themselves a question, is the Holy Light really on the side of the undead?
Cyril Roland asked again: "You just said there are two explanations, what is the second one?"
After thinking about it, the only explanation is that the Lord of the Dawn sent the mysterious paladin to assist the lich.
This is the biggest weakness of the fanatic.
This analysis makes sense. Unlike the original territory of the Ryan Empire, the desert was just conquered. Isn't this the other side of the empire?
Alan was accused of treason, and later performed well in the battle of the Unholy Song, saving Ryan's army and personally stopping the pursuit of the Gisyanki.
But at that time, the Iron Blood General was dead, and most people did not delve into the matter. When Cyril Roland heard about it, he was also vague. He was also busy with his own affairs and had no time to understand it in depth. He just thought that Allen was playing political tricks with the Ryan royal family.
Are these reports true or false?
Elizabeth calmed down and said to everyone: "This time, the oracle is not related to our classics, but very straightforward. As long as we interpret the other side of the empire, we can naturally get the direction, and in my opinion, there may be two explanations.
On the battlefield, Lucas can convince himself and enter the state of "I don't listen, I don't listen", but after leaving the battlefield, he is also a devout believer of the Lord of Dawn, and his mentality is also broken.
Elizabeth said a little embarrassedly: "This second explanation...maybe it's just my personal feeling. I can't find any convincing reasons, and if I really choose this direction, I'm afraid it will be immediately considered treason. "
But at this time someone said: "If we go back like this, how can we explain to everyone? We can't even explain why we lost. ”
But no matter how nervous he was, he was the calmest one, so Lucas said to all the confused people: "No matter what the lich said was true or false, we now have an urgent problem to solve. Should we admit defeat and go back, or continue to attack the lich?"
Alan Watson was once captured by the lich. Did he know the problem of the empire at that time? After escaping, he became a student of the Silver Moon Knight and the youngest legendary paladin of the empire. He could have had a bright future, but he chose to betray his country at this time.
Lucas gritted his teeth and said, "Then retreat! Be decisive. The empire will definitely receive the news soon. If we don't go back, what will happen to our supplies? Although I don't know the truth, we can't starve to death on this sea! "
But if this explanation is accepted, all the Ryan people will go crazy.
If it was before, she could interpret the oracle immediately, but now she has begun to doubt herself, and she really has no confidence that she can accurately interpret the Lord of the Dawn's meaning.
How could the news that has been double-confirmed by the Holy Knights and the Priests of Light be false? This is what the Lord of the Dawn has reported in prayer. How could the gods turn a blind eye to this?
If everything is true, why hasn't the Lord of the Dawn withdrawn the favor of the Holy Light, and why are there so many Holy Knights and Priests of Light who have been promoted in the Ryan Empire?
It has always been the habit of the Ryan people that there are only two results in the crusade against the undead.
This was originally a good opportunity to return to the empire, but Allen did not do so. Instead, he openly opposed the Ryan royal family. The lich said that General Ironblood committed the crime of massacre, and Allen seemed to have mentioned this.
Lucas' words made many people come back to their senses. It was true. No matter what the truth was, they should first survive. They would never find the truth if they died on this sea.
The oracle gave the order, and the prayer ended, but there was still doubt on the faces of everyone on the ship.
The meaning of faith is exactly this.
He is not a traitor, he is just fighting, and he wants to get this empire back on track.
Did the dead General Ironblood Rachel Angelo commit the inhumane crime of massacre? If the empire knew, why didn't it deal with such people?
Is the reason for invading the Kingdom of Unholy Songs and the Orcs Mountains as stated in the war report? Unholy Songs worship evil gods and conduct large-scale blood sacrifices? Orcs kill humans in large numbers by slave hunting teams?
When he used faith as armor, he could be fearless and move forward, but when he found that there was something wrong with his faith, all that was left was confusion and despair.
Elizabeth nodded helplessly. Now everyone in the Ryan Empire knew that Alan Watson had stood on the opposite side of the royal family.
It was a tradition of Ryan to insist on fighting to the death, and they also had the courage to sacrifice, but now that they were returning unscathed, how would the people of the Empire of Ryan look at them?
Even if they didn't die in the battle, it would be no different from being dead after returning like this.
Not only him, but all the people of Ryan were the same.
"Treason?" Cyril Roland frowned. When he heard Elizabeth say this, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Do you mean that the other side of the empire refers to Alan Watson?"
This time, even Lucas, the most calm Shield of Glory, could not give an answer.
Cyril Roland prayed with the most pious attitude of his life, and so did the other people of Ryan on the ship. They were all the most devout believers of the Lord of Dawn, and at this time they especially needed the guidance of this god.
If it is true, what qualifications do they have to pin the crime on the lich? As he said, the lich has always been saving the world, so how can there be any sin?
In the past, Cyril Roland would not doubt the news released by the empire.
Victory, or a heavy defeat.
There must be a problem here, and now it seems that all of Alan Watson's actions are derived from one answer. He discovered the problem of the Ryan Empire very early.
"The first is the desert. This is the territory that the empire has just conquered. If the empire really committed unforgivable crimes in the war, then we should be able to find the answer we want in this newly occupied place."
Now that I think about it, many doubts are right.
It's too contradictory. Cyril Roland doesn't care about his reputation at all now. He just wants to know the truth.
"Lord of the Dawn, please listen to the prayers of the humble, please point the way for the confused believers."
And this time, the evidence produced by the lich seems to be consistent with what Alan Watson said.
What is the other side of the empire?
Cyril Roland looked at a blonde lady on the boat. She was Elizabeth Morrison, a priest of light. As a legendary priest of light, she was the best at interpreting oracles.
If not, how could the paladin be explained? How could the light sword split the celestial warrior? How could the celestial warrior seem to know the mysterious paladin?
This hurdle could not be overcome anyway. Cyril Roland's mind was like a mess, and he could not figure out anything.
Cyril Roland looked up at his old friend and said blankly, "I can't even find a reason to swing the sword. How can we attack the island again? What if the lich is really the one chosen by the Lord of Dawn?"
Finally, a thought came down from the sky and was imprinted in everyone's mind.
Elizabeth felt relieved after hearing this. She was right. She still had a chance. The Lord of Dawn had not given up on them.
But now, Alan Watson's identity is indeed very sensitive. He had just lost a battle. If he went to Alan Watson without any application, the imperial capital would definitely regard it as a betrayal.
Cyril Roland thought about it and finally gave an order: "Split the troops into two groups. Elizabeth, you lead the people to the desert to inquire about the information related to the war and confirm whether the empire has committed the crime of massacre in the war. And I will take the others to find Alan Watson, hoping to hear the truth from his mouth."
